Is a Waterlogged Motorcycle Considered Totaled?
1 Answers
It can't be said that it's directly totaled, mainly depending on the extent of damage. Like cars, motorcycles are vulnerable to water damage in areas such as the engine cylinder and electrical wiring. If these two parts are severely damaged, especially in an older motorcycle, it might be considered totaled with no need for repairs. The impacts of a waterlogged motorcycle: 1. Engine damage: If a motorcycle is waterlogged, it can damage the electronic systems and cause water to enter the engine. Water in the engine can prevent it from starting, lead to rusting, and disrupt normal operation. Immediate repairs are necessary if the motorcycle has been waterlogged. 2. Electronic system damage: Motorcycles and cars are not purely mechanical systems; they have many electronic components. If these electronic systems are damaged, the engine will also fail to operate properly.
